Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

A farmer has enough food to feed 20 animals in his cattle for 6 days.

More the number of animals, the lesser will be the number of days food lasts.

Therefore, the number of animals and number of days are inversely proportional to each other.

Hence,

20 × 6 = 30 × x

→x = 4 days

Now, food will last in 4 days.
